You may take Amṛt for your entire life. This Mahāprasād can be further energized. There is a holy river named the Narmadā. Stones in this river are naturally shaped into forms resembling a Śiva Liṅgam. These are called Narmadeśvara Śiva Liṅgams. Place one on your altar. In the morning, wash and dry it. Perform an abhiṣeka on the Liṅgam with the liquid Amṛt while reciting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra five times. Pour a few drops onto it while chanting. Afterwards, pour a little milk, then honey, then water. You may then partake of that offering. That stone carries a unique vibration. A large rock is tumbled in the river countless times until it is worn down. This constant turning imbues it with a specific energy. It is a matter of vibrational essence. This stone possesses distinct vibrations. Therefore, you may take Amṛt every day, or every Monday and Thursday. You could also take a break for a month after a year. Taking it daily is perfectly fine. "Perform an abhiṣeka on the Śiva Liṅgam while reciting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra five times." "This stone, having been rolled millions upon millions of times, possesses distinct vibrations." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mind's bondage stems from mamatā, the sense of "mine," which is the root of all suffering. The mind does not die until this possessiveness is purified. Through countless lifetimes, only the body perishes, while hope and longing persist. These three—mamatā, hope, and longing—are the causes of all troubles with family, society, and the self. The mind is a powerful, wandering force that must be controlled. Give the mind a mantra and a mālā for meditation; when it wanders, bring it back relentlessly. Mental repetition of the mantra is essential, as stopping it allows the mind to govern and leads to darkness. Practice mentally at all times to find inner peace and overcome loneliness and restless desires. Train the mind to distinguish itself from the true Self.

Mantras are a practical, oral wisdom for specific purposes, from healing bites to guiding creatures. This knowledge is not written but transmitted directly between individuals under strict discipline. It must be performed as selfless service without any material exchange; accepting even tea nullifies the mantra's power. This practice is known by simple, devoted people in communities. The wisdom operates on principles like following a guru's word; violating these causes the knowledge to vanish from memory, much like forgetting a dream. If written down or shared carelessly, the knowledge is misused and disappears entirely, leaving no benefit for anyone. "Nie zapísano. Secondly, za druhé, druho: you should never ask for anything in return." "If you do not follow the Guruvākyā (the Guru's word), then that wisdom will simply disappear from you, as if you never had it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Lead a normal life with awareness. A relationship's initial joy naturally fades, but suffering is unnecessary. Recreate that initial feeling through conscious duty and growing love. This creates harmony for partners and children. Yet, all partnerships end in the pain of separation, as life is fleeting like a water bubble. Therefore, be kind and helpful while you can, for you depart alone. When afraid, use prayer or mantra as a weapon against ignorance. Soon, the study of chakras will reveal life's joy. "Oh Lord, day by day, my love should grow for you." "You came alone, and you go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of devotion is a burning longing for divine union, exemplified by Mīrā's viraha. Her bhajans express an unbearable separation from God. She declares survival is impossible without the beloved's presence. She pleads for darśana, describing a profound suffering. Her state is likened to a waterless lotus or a moonless night. This longing extinguishes hunger and sleep, creating an inexpressible inner fire. Only the Lord's merciful appearance can quench this agony of separation. Her devotion is an eternal pledge of servitude across all lifetimes. This is the song of viraha. "Without you, I cannot survive, I cannot live." "I am burning, burning. In this desire and longing, only this fire of viraha can be calmed down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mantra is the foundational cosmic resonance from which all creation arises. It is a sound that shapes reality. The mantra received from the true guide is most appropriate, but it requires systematic practice with proper technique for safety and success. Perfection is sought in five techniques: Vācik, Upāṁśu, Mānasik, Likhit, and Ājapā. In Upāṁśu, half the resonance circulates within the body. Chant the mantra aloud daily; the melody matters not, for God loves equally. The true guide assumes responsibility for the devotee's destiny upon surrender, leaving only practice. The guide is the captain to the other shore; jumping ship is not the captain's error. "God takes upon Himself the destiny of the devotees." "Tērī sat-gururāke lāja cintā mat karnā, cintā mat karnā, nirbhaira honi saṅka kabhi mat ḍarnā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The moon's phases, Pūrṇimā and Amāvasyā, guide spiritual practice. Monday belongs to Śiva and the moon. The new moon, Amāvasyā, is a dark night when sun and moon align. Seeing the new crescent brings luck and symbolizes the gradual growth towards completeness, just as spiritual practice increases daily. The mantra teaches that all of creation is complete, emanating from the complete source. The full moon, Pūrṇimā, exerts a strong influence on planetary consciousness and human emotion, which is motion within the blood and cells. Observing these days through fasting, prayer, and calm activity harmonizes one's energy with these cycles. It benefits the body, mind, and spirit. Eclipses also require observance and subsequent cleansing. Working with the lunar calendar shows respect for natural influences. "To see the new moon brings luck, prosperity, and happiness." "Everything—the entire universe and God, Brahman—is pūrṇa, complete." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The bīja mantra of the Maṇipūra Cakra is Raṃ, which is the sound of the universal Ātmā known as Rāma. Chanting from the navel utilizes the Parā level of sound. The union of prāṇa and apāna at this cakra allows pure consciousness to enter the central Suṣumṇā channel, ascending to the supreme door of the Sahasrāra. Through dedicated mantra and prāṇāyāma practice, the cakras purify and the Kuṇḍalinī awakens. The sound resonates from the navel, with the 'M' reaching the nasal space at the Ājñā Cakra, creating a flute-like resonance through the Amṛtandhra. Sit straight with aligned posture to facilitate this inner resonance. "Brahma means the Supreme, the highest sovereign. It is the door to the supreme." "The resonance of the Rāma Mantra, 'Rām,' comes from the Maṇipūra—'Ra' is in Maṇipūra, 'A' is coming up, and 'M' goes to the nasal space—it becomes such a beautiful resonance."

The present determines the future. Do not dwell on the past. Your future is shaped by your present actions and thoughts. Destiny is created by your own karma. You are your own liberator through your conduct. Heaven is not a physical place to be imagined but a state realized. Reality is that which does not change, unlike this mortal world. Positive energy and vibration guide you toward the divine. Ancient teachings urge a movement from darkness to light and from unreality to reality. "Past is past." "Lead us from the darkness to the light." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mind must abandon its dispassion and false imagination to be shown the Ātmā. A child is attached to toys, crying if they are taken. As a teenager, one seeks other toys, with jealousy and anger growing stronger. People become attached to relationships, claiming they will die if a partner leaves, only to find a new "toy" later. Hobbies like having a dog become new attachments. Then spirituality is found, becoming a new toy, but God is different, for God cannot disappoint. A seeker once wanted a guru who did not eat, drink, or require anything. She was told to accept a stone, for a living guru will have human needs. One must find a true Satguru. First, understand the master's words, called Guru Vākya. Then perform Guru-sevā, which means serving all creatures. When service is accepted, one receives Guru Kṛpā, the mercy that is the root of liberation. "God cannot disappoint you. That is something else."

A spiritual discourse on the power of the divine name. "Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām." "Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām." The video consists of a continuous, rhythmic chanting of the name "Rām," repeated as a mantra. There is no other speech or narrative, creating a meditative focus on the sacred sound and its spiritual vibration. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mantra Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana provides complete protection from all afflictions. Planetary influences, negative spirits, and all three forms of suffering cannot affect one who holds this mantra. No further ritual is required. This mantra purifies the mind of negative energy, thoughts, and fear. Negative words and actions are a harmful mantra, but this divine sound creates an impenetrable shield. Positive mantras begin with positive thinking, abandoning harsh speech. Singing bhajans and prayers are themselves mantra, as is the constant repetition of the divine name. God resides not in a heavenly abode or a yogi's heart, but where devotees sing His name with love. This is the personal deity. Therefore, do not react with anger or expectation, as others may not respond immediately. The sound of prayer or a flute needs no translation, for it is the direct language of the heart. "Graha gochar kā pāp nahīṁ lage, graha gochar kā tāp nahīṁ lage." "I am not in Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of the yogīs... I am there, O Nārada, where my bhaktas, my devotees, sing my name with love." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Ānanda Āsana posture recharges the body with cosmic energy. This practice is for everyone, offering comfort and bliss. By resting the organs, muscles, nerves, and joints, life force flows in, pushing out tiredness and negativity. One can practice this relaxation seated or lying down. Close the eyes to relax deeply. Inhale to draw in energy and expand; exhale to release toxins and recover. Consciously relax every part of the body from head to toe. This process calms negative emotions and restores immense energy in just minutes. It is a simple method to unify with oneself and wish well for all. "At the time of inhalation, your body is recharging with cosmic energy—the life force, life energy." "Consciously relax your whole body. Relax. Feel your body. Feel each and every limb. Feel your breath." Filming location: Zlin, Czech Republic

The origin of all elements and consciousness stems from the primordial sound Oṃ. This sound is as ancient as creation itself. Every creature possesses a language and innate intellect. For example, ants demonstrated cooperation and problem-solving to reach blessed food, forming a living bridge across water. Do not think only humans possess such capacity. A mantra is a unifying sound, a harmonious melody. Sound has two vibrations: one of love and unity, and another born of ignorance, creating division and negativity. Ancient seers received these divine sounds and letters through deep meditation, bringing them from the astral into physical awareness. This script is called Devanāgarī, the language of the divine realm. Each alphabet and chakra represents a specific divine form of energy, influencing existence just as symbolic forms like runes do. The essential sound remains unchanged through time. "A mantra is that sound which unites. It is a harmonious sound, a melody, a rāga—it is music." "Love unites; hate divides."

To overcome fear, analyze its origin in time and place. Problems and fears arise from specific circumstances. One must find their root cause. This requires dedicated self-study. Understand the situation's deśa and kāla—the precise place and time of its occurrence. Assess if it can be changed now. Respect the inherent laws of any situation or location, as one respects a country's constitution. Place yourself mentally back in that original context, considering your age and capability. Then, return to the present moment and its reality. Recognize the past situation is over; you are now in a different, safer context. Through this analysis, the fear dissipates, as the perceived threat is seen in its true light. "You are in trouble because you do not understand and respect the law of deśa and kāla—the place and circumstances." "When the situation became clear, the inner fear vanished."

The ancient way of teaching is through stories, as they remain most vividly in memory. Convert any difficult subject into a narrative to remember it. Another form is theater, where actors embody stories, using techniques to evoke real emotion. Poetry is a supreme method for preserving wisdom perfectly, unlike mutable writing. Every story requires an explanation to give it meaning and spice, just as food needs seasoning. Wisdom is stored in a tale, and the length of that 'tail' reflects the depth of wisdom one holds. "Convert that subject into a story." "Poetry is the best way to preserve your wisdom." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner call for God-realization arises because God is our origin and inner reality, even within those considered devils. A devil exists from bad qualities and society, but the inner truth is divine light. For instance, even an enemy who constantly thinks of God, whether in fear or hatred, draws God's presence for liberation. However, many call to God only in distress, not truly ready to surrender their worldly attachments when faced with divine response. Humans often imagine God's form and then doubt it, never satisfied. Yet God is the source and experiencer within us—happiness, wellness, and bliss—not the body, which feels nothing after the life force departs. "Anyone who will think of me, I will appear, and I will liberate that one." "God is happiness, God is wellness, God is ānanda." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The state of mastāna is a divine intoxication beyond worldly care. The term mastāna describes being intoxicated in divine love, where nothing matters except God. It is very hard to attain. A saint known as Mastāna Bābā exemplified this. Everyone thought he was mad, living without care for clothes, food, or shelter. If he took a fruit from a vendor, that man would become wealthy. He was indifferent to his body. Once, with mucus and worms on him, a doctor offered treatment. The saint looked at him, removed his skull like a cap, and said, "Do a treatment, please." After stunning the doctor, he left. We are far from this state, complaining over minor pains. A mastāna is always happy. On the name of the Gurudev, I am dīwānā—one who doesn't care. What is made will break. Who is born will die. Then why worry? "Nothing matters except God, for you are in God consciousness. Mastāna." "He took off his skull like a cap and said, 'Do a treatment, please.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This world is a two-day gathering. Life is a transient play of coming and going. You accumulate sin, deceit, and vast wealth through dishonest means, yet none of it accompanies you at death. Not even a fraction of your possessions follows. Family cannot share your final journey or relieve your suffering. Why fill your bag with such futile karma? This entire worldly existence is mortal and impermanent. Renounce this play of illusion. Meditate, pray, cultivate humility and kindness, and surrender the ego. Realize nothing here is forever.

The heart center is the abode of the Ātmā, a tiny blue light within a cave of the heart. This Ātmā is unchanging happiness. The individual soul is a mixture of this reality and non-reality, with the non-reality changing according to karma, which alters one's destiny, mind, and feelings. Those who experience the blue light within and have sufficient spiritual association will not change their mood. To be moody is a dangerous situation. This world changes, but the Ātmā does not change. You are happiness. A practitioner must master their mood; it is a divine path. "Within the heart, there is a beautiful small cave. And within that cave, there is a beautiful, tiny blue light." "Those who have experienced that blue light within the heart—the Ātmā—and who have enough satsaṅg, then you will not change your mood."

A vow is a disciplined observance that creates a boundary not to be crossed. People undertake various vows, like not cutting hair, which is a difficult lifelong discipline. The core of such a vow is the personal resolve, the saṅkalpa. This resolve establishes a protective limit, a Lakṣmaṇa Rekhā. The story illustrates this: Lakṣmaṇa drew a magical circle to protect Sītā, instructing her not to step beyond it. She eventually crossed the line, leading to her abduction. This principle applies to any personal vow. The promise itself creates the boundary. Breaking that vow has consequences; it attacks you and creates negative karma. Therefore, do not make promises lightly. If you do, consider it deeply first. True discipline comes from your own willpower and connection to your aim, not external techniques. That inner resolve is what liberates you. "My brother is never in danger. I will not go." "Please do not go out of the circle. That is all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a divine science, not merely physical exercise. Many become teachers through brief courses, but this is insufficient. Even teaching postures requires anatomical and psychological knowledge akin to a physiotherapist's training. Being a true teacher is among the best karmas. A teacher guides others toward physical, mental, and spiritual health, offering hope. Yoga in Daily Life is a living system with inherent spirituality. A certified teacher must not let that knowledge stagnate; like flowing water, wisdom must be shared to remain pure. The responsibility is to continually give this knowledge to others. "Teacher' in Hindi or English is Gurū. But then there is a Satgurū, the spiritual master." "Pānī tu chaltā bhalā, paḍā gandelā hoī. Water should flow. If it remains still, it will become dirty."

Yoga must be life itself, not merely exercise. This living path flows from a spiritual lineage, a blessing that is real and effective. Humans possess dangerous potential, yet spiritual guidance functions as an inner restraint, a knowing of right and wrong. The universal human mission is to ultimately merge with the Divine, but this requires following a path. That path is guided by an inner navigator, one's honest intuition and feeling. Do not seek to solve all the world's problems, for that is impossible. The world experiences cycles of destruction, yet pure souls are drawn into divine consciousness beforehand. The essential force is love, which unites, while dogmatic belief breeds hate and division. Love for the Divine is deeply personal and manifests in countless ways. One must continually inquire into life's purpose, moving beyond mere animal existence. This is a lifelong path of practice, not theoretical knowledge. Just as an Olympic athlete trains relentlessly, spiritual achievement demands constant practice. Do not be fanatical; share openly and drink from any clean well of wisdom. The principle is to give, for giving creates happiness and freedom, while taking accrues obligation. Human life is a spiritual opportunity to understand and alleviate the suffering of all creatures.

You may call yourselves pilots, but you have no certificate to fly. You can imagine you are, but you are not. A crow sat atop a temple during prayers, believing the devotion was for him. When a noise frightened him away, he saw the prayers continued without him; they were for the idol, not him. The self-made master is that crow, holding an invalid passport. Never travel with a wrong passport. A master was lecturing on renunciation. A listener questioned why the disciple Rāmdās lived in kingly comfort. That night, the master led Rāmdās on a harsh journey to a remote cave, instructing him to stay for ascetic practice. The master left. Exhausted, Rāmdās slept. By destiny, King Śivājī was picnicking nearby. His soldiers found the sleeping guru. The king swiftly erected a luxurious tent for him. The master later showed the questioner this scene from afar. The disciple renounced comfort, but comfort did not renounce him. That is destiny and the Guru's grace. "Quack, quack, quack, quack, I am here, come and pray to me here." "He renounced the comfort, but comfort doesn't renounce him." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The mystery of life is beyond physical health and requires a balanced, open approach to well-being. Good health is essential but not the ultimate aim. Modern medicine and yoga are complementary wings for healing; neither system can cure all things for all people. We must avoid narrow judgments of any health system—allopathy, naturopathy, or Ayurveda. Be like a honey bee, gathering nectar from all flowers. Personal spiritual achievement is individual and influences one's surroundings. By changing yourself to be peaceful, you positively affect others, like a calm neighbor. This is a grassroots development: slow, sure growth from within. Do not constantly change your core practice. "Be the change you want to see." "We should be like a honey bee... take the nectar from all kinds of flowers." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Happiness is an internal feeling, not derived from external conditions. Release all mental conflicts concerning religions, cultures, or nations. Place yourself in a state where you declare, "now I am happy." Proceed slowly and gently, like a wave. You are a wave of the cosmic Self, having arisen from and destined to merge back into the ocean. Daily life is saṃsāra, filled with unchangeable and unacceptable experiences. Human life grows increasingly complicated and threatened, despite greater development and intellect. This occurs because humanity has gone too far, losing the feeling of nature. Within each day, take minutes to establish happiness or peace within yourself. We cannot do good for everyone; actions will always receive both praise and criticism. "You are those divine waves." "Day by day, human life is getting complicated." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The story explains why the world is mortal and the futility of seeking external approval. Śiva wears a garland of skulls from Pārvatī's past lives, which saddens her. She demands the secret of immortality. Śiva explains revealing it violates cosmic law, as this is a mortal world of cycles. He reluctantly agrees but takes extreme precautions in a remote cave to prevent any being from overhearing. Despite this, an unborn parrot in an egg hears the secret. The parrot, later born as the sage Śukadeva, preserves the wisdom. The tale concludes with a lesson: people will always criticize, so one must find inner security and contentment through self-awareness and spiritual practice, not external validation. "Whatever you will do, there will be many people who will think the opposite." "Therefore, we don't know where our destiny leads and ends. So take the time for thyself, and do something good for your body, for your mind, for your consciousness, and for your soul." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The fountain of divine bliss is found within. Every being seeks lasting happiness, not the temporary bubbles of material joy. True bliss is divine and eternal, residing within as the universal Ātmā, the unchanging reality distinct from the individual soul. This inner power purifies negative vibrations from body and surroundings. Spiritual songs and thoughts activate this fountain, creating a protective shield. All creatures are part of the universal One, destined to merge back into this origin, like a part returning to the whole. This union is a marriage into oneness, dissolving duality. The search outside ends by realizing the bliss within. "Within you is the fountain of joy, within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the immortal Self." "Every creature is a part of that universal One, and they are searching to come back to the origin. The final destination is to merge into oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Yoga in Daily Life system is a comprehensive science for holistic well-being and spiritual realization. This system, originating from Indian sages, was introduced to Slovenia following a pivotal meeting. It encompasses practices for physical, mental, and social health, aiming for environmental protection, world peace, and interfaith harmony. The teachings are now globally recognized and taught in thousands of locations. The organization runs extensive humanitarian projects from a central intercultural center. In Slovenia, it is practiced by tens of thousands and taught through licensed societies. Practice involves structured stages of exercise, breathwork, and meditation, with specialized programs for various needs. The work extends to educational programs and peace initiatives, grounded in the principle of non-violence.

Yoga is a science for physical, mental, and spiritual health. It was brought to Slovenia two decades ago, kindling a light that has since spread nationwide. This system, Yoga in Daily Life, is ancient wisdom adapted for modern times, aiming for holistic well-being, environmental protection, and world peace. It is practiced by over 50,000 people in Slovenia through organized associations. The practice includes physical exercises, breathing, relaxation, and meditation across eight progressive levels. Specialized programs exist for various health conditions and life stages. The foundational principle is ahiṃsā, or non-violence, in thought, word, and deed. This principle extends to global efforts for peace and understanding. "Ever since I first met my teacher, my life has shifted towards spiritual experiences and a healthy, positive way of living."

Life is a dream from birth to death; awakening reveals its meaning. The journey moves through places where awakened beings lived, their presence still felt. Seekers gather, drawn by the light of consciousness embodied in the teacher. Liberation comes from overcoming ignorance and realizing the true self. The teacher travels continuously, welcomed with devotion as a source of blessing. Pilgrimage sites hold the memory of saints, their simplicity and spiritual power transforming consciousness. True peace begins within one's own heart. The relationship with a personal deity or guru is the support, path, and ultimate goal. Through practices like yoga, satsang, and selfless service, awakening becomes a real possibility.

Destiny is a mysterious and inescapable force. Humans cannot know the past or future, for such knowledge would bring unbearable tension. What unfolds is a play of fate, created individually yet often unavoidable. The story of Oedipus illustrates how one may try to flee destiny only to fulfill it. All must face the end of the body; death is inevitable. Yet through spiritual practice, one can transcend fear and attachment. When consciousness widens, past and future become clear, and one may realize the supreme Self beyond all suffering. Even the enlightened must relinquish the body, but a self-realized being digests time itself. We pray for the departed soul to dissolve into the cosmic light. "Humans are very intelligent and intellectual beings, but God has not given them this one ability: to know the past and to know the future." "Finally, the car will be the winner. It means death."

Sādhanā requires perfect technique and discipline, following principles like a car needing correct fuel. This human system requires spiritual nourishment. The Maṇipūra Chakra is central; the body's manifestation begins there, and it is where the soul enters and prāṇa and apāna unite. It houses the hara-śakti, the life force governing immunity. A weak hara-śakti causes fatigue; the Khaṭupranām exercise strengthens it. Sound originates in the Maṇipūra Chakra, with levels from parā (navel) to vaikharī (lips). Chanting Aum in Śabda Sañjālan practice awakens this sound, rising to the Sahasrāra and flowing back to the heart, uniting the nāḍīs at the Ājñā Chakra. This confluence, Trikuṭī, purifies karma. Success requires disciplined practice, devotion, and following a true spiritual lineage. Without devotion and discipline, balance is lost and practice fails. With sincere sādhanā, inner awakening and freedom are attained. "Only the maṇipūra chakra can control the two forces, prāṇa and apāna." "Without bhakti, without devotion, you cannot cross this ocean of ignorance." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Faith, surrender, and satsaṅg are the pillars of spiritual success. A divine source fulfills the positive resolve of devotees and masters. One must not stop or change course amidst life's difficulties, or a precious opportunity is lost. Human life is a rare and powerful tool for realization, endowed with intellect and discrimination. The greatest enemy is laziness, which, alongside anger and jealousy, lies dormant within and must be overcome. Surrender, when complete and permanent, brings lasting happiness. Spiritual practice is essential, for the body ages and external changes are superficial. The constant repetition of the divine name, the mantra, is the true wealth of life, counted wherever one is. The value of satsaṅg is supreme, illustrated by a story where one minute of true satsaṅg was judged greater than sixty thousand years of ascetic practice. Attend satsaṅg with an open, clear heart to receive its fruit. "Man proposes and God disposes." "One minute of the satsaṅg is greater than 60,000 years of tapasyā."

The soil of this land is sacred, and every child is divine. This body is a temple, and every person is a helper. Each child is an idol, a manifestation of the divine. All beings seek happiness; this universal principle is your true reality. Spirituality leads there through mantra, meditation, prayer, and satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, happiness and spiritual development are impossible. Impulses to avoid satsaṅg arise from past karmas awakening. Spirituality means purity, happiness, forgiveness, clarity, and fearless action. Do not fear death. Human life is unique among 8.4 million life forms; humans are spiritual protectors. Do not declare yourself unhappy or unloved. Purify yourself through action, nourishment, good company, reading, meditation, mantra, prayer, and song. A spiritual family is built on harmony, not conflict; parents must love each other and raise children with great love. Spirituality resides at home in a tolerant, respectful family, not only in temples. Lead a life with pure thoughts and sattvic nourishment.

Spirituality is the purity of our inner self, obscured by three obstacles. Mala is impurity in action and thought, like dust on a mirror. Mental pollution, often from money, leads to harmful deeds. Vikṣepa are disturbances—worries and waves of thought that hide our calm core. Reducing external stimuli through retreat, sleep, and observing thoughts without attachment can calm these waves. Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance, a thick layer separating us from our true nature. Reading liberating wisdom and cultivating love, kindness, and forgiveness helps remove this veil. Happiness is a universal reality; spiritual practice leads us there. "Spirituality means purity. Crystal clear, pure. This purity refers to our ātmā, our inner self."

The body possesses innate healing energy through immunity and chakra points connected to nerves. Activate this energy by massaging with pure oils and brushing the skin to stimulate chakras. For direct healing, awaken the energy in your palms through specific hand positions and willpower, then apply them to areas of pain. This power requires conscious activation and withdrawal. The Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is the seat of the subconscious, storing life impressions and negative qualities like anger and jealousy. Its awakening brings clarity but requires purifying these emotions first. The chakra's element is water, symbolizing hidden power and danger. Its divinity is linked to creation and wisdom. The cobra posture influences this center, helping control and awaken its positive qualities. "Awakening of the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra brings clarity and development of the personality." "Emotion is ego.

Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless, conscious body. Within it, the divine will manifested as the sound Aum, from which the elements emerged. The human form is special due to its educable intellect. The physical body is sustained by 72,000 energy channels, or nāḍīs, which distribute cosmic energy. Three principal nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern our being and intersect at energy centers called chakras. The dormant spiritual power, Kuṇḍalinī, awakens as super-consciousness, uniting these energies. Our current consciousness is often mired in lower chakras, leading to animalistic behaviors and negative emotions like jealousy. The mind cannot be controlled, only guided, as it moves between the conscious and subconscious. Physical death is a recycling of elements, analogous to the soul's reincarnation. "Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity." "The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear.

Meditation is the only way to the self and to God. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, given by Lord Śiva, the first being, Swayambhu. In the beginning was endless space and the cosmic consciousness, Chaitanya, resting within it like a child. This formless consciousness desired, "I am one; I shall become many." This first desire, Īcchā Śakti, is the root of all problems and began creation. From this desire came resonance, the sacred sound Om, which is the fire element. This brought movement, feelings, and the other elements: air, space, water, and earth, forming all creation. The individual self and the cosmic self cannot coexist; one must surrender to become one, like salt dissolving in the ocean. All spiritual science, including meditation, is the gift of Śiva.

The earth and people of this land are sacred, infused with divine presence. Every child embodies the divine, and life's ideal is seeing every place as the abode of the Supreme. Your true nature is the cosmic Self, resting in the lap of the infinite. You have a universal right to contentment and joy, but the fleeting joys of the world bring subsequent sorrow. True peace is found within, at the source. The mind, however, is disturbed by countless thoughts, or vṛttis, like waves on a peaceful lake. Patañjali's yoga teaches the cessation of these mental fluctuations, which is more challenging now than in ancient times. You must accept three laws: cosmic, natural, and societal. Acceptance of natural change, like aging, is key to peace. Meditation provides strength to face life's inevitable truths and hardships, which are hard to digest. Theoretical knowledge of being the immortal Self is not enough; practical realization, which removes all fear, is the goal. Until then, follow the devotional path, using mantra and guidance. Shift self-inquiry from "Who am I?" to "How am I?" to purify your behavior and qualities. "Your true nature, your true nature is that cosmic Self residing in the Ananta, in the endless, in the cosmic mother’s lap." "Therefore, don’t fly too high. Try to stay. The devotional way, Bhakti Yoga, is beautiful." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The soil of this land is sandalwood. Every village is a land of penance. Every child is a divine statue. This body is a temple. Meditation is spiritual nourishment for a healthier, happier life and to know thyself. The Vedas are ancient wisdom. The cosmic creation began from a void, Śūnya Ākāśa, containing only space and cosmic consciousness. From that consciousness arose the desire "I am one, I shall become many," manifesting as the primordial sound Auṁ. The five elements—space, fire, air, water, earth—emerged from this sound; all are living and resonant. Our bodies are composed of these five elements. The one cosmic consciousness reflects in all forms, like a single light reflecting in many cups. Duality is an illusion created by walls dividing the same space. You cannot realize God because there is no separate God to realize; you are that. However, a curtain of individual identity and qualities obscures this. Meditation with a mantra is the means to remove this curtain, purify negative karma, and give up bad qualities. Without such practice, self-realization remains distant. Do not waste time.

The human system is mapped by 72,000 nāḍīs, fine channels for cosmic energy called Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Each energy entry point is a chakra, akin to a reflex zone. Three primary nāḍīs are essential: Iḍā (mind, moon), Piṅgalā (intellect, sun), and Suṣumṇā (consciousness). Consciousness oscillates between waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Practice leads through unconscious, subconscious, conscious, and superconscious states toward cosmic consciousness. The body's chakras correspond to elements, with Mūlādhāra at the base storing past-life impressions and Svādhiṣṭhāna holding subconscious impressions from this life. The Suṣumṇā nāḍī is the central pathway. Awakening requires discipline in diet, behavior, and thought, guided by a mantra to purify negativity. Positive awakening brings happiness, devotion, contentment, and inner light. The ultimate aim is for the energy to ascend to the Sahasrāra Chakra, the door to Brahman, bypassing lower exits. "These nāḍīs are the fine channels through which cosmic energy streams into and enters this body." "The force within this which will guide you and give you different experiences and happiness is what you call the Kuṇḍalinī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A hospital is a work of service born from a spiritual wish. This facility with 111 beds stands where no other like it exists, destined to benefit thousands. It contains all necessary departments, including a trauma center urgently needed on a dangerous highway. The building is nearly complete, yet the rooms remain empty, lacking beds, instruments, and basic supplies. Good deeds remain in memory when all material possessions are left behind. Support is needed through donations for equipment, which is best purchased locally. The initiator worked tirelessly, inspiring many to contribute through various efforts. A person only understands a hospital's true service when in need of its care. "Nothing will go with us—not even this body." "Your life is like water, just flowing away."

The difference between observing truth and immersing yourself in it is the difference between knowledge and realization. You can see pictures and hear stories of the Gaṅgā, but to dive in and feel the water is different. That is the difference between hearing a lecture and practicing the reality. To develop spiritually, you must get this energy. You are like a seed that must die and surrender its form so a new life can come. Your ego, ambition, and negative qualities must be surrendered. Only then can the divine light within awaken and be given to others. Some are like bookworms, collecting ideas to preach, but this artificial knowledge does not last. Real growth requires internal surrender, not external performance. Problems in communication arise from inner greed, ego, and jealousy. You must learn to accept your own mistakes instead of blaming others; acceptance requires surrendering your ego. Discipline is also learned through practice, not passive observation. "You feel the reality in the lecture, the reality in the practice, and to be with it—that is very different." "You have to surrender. You have to kill your ego. Otherwise, you can't accept."

The path of unconditional love requires surrender without conditions or questions. A devotional song illustrates this: to cross the ocean, you must become the leather of my shoes, and I will walk in them. Until love is present, you cannot understand this; when love is there, everything is beautiful. There is no 'why' or 'how,' only complete oneness. The street of love is so narrow that two cannot walk; two must become one. This is a state where individual presence is surrendered for unity. "If you wish to sell me, I must be ready to be sold."

Prāṇa is the universal life force, not merely breath but the essence animating all existence. Living beings are defined by possessing prāṇa. Human life is guided by fundamental inquiries into identity and purpose, leading to conscious living. Right nourishment is governed by principles of diet, environment, conduct, and thought. Āyurveda provides a science of health. Physical practice begins with āsanas, then advances to the subtle art of prāṇāyāma. Prāṇa permeates all five elements; imbalance causes disease, while yoga establishes harmony. Eating should be a conscious ritual, with thorough chewing to activate prāṇic digestion. Prāṇāyāma involves coordinating movement and awareness with breath. Practice slowly, feeling the prāṇic body expand and contract. Discipline is essential; daily practice purifies the mind and strengthens life. Prāṇāyāma is the direct cultivation of life itself, fostering vitality and a serene consciousness. "Prāṇāyāma is the exercise of prāṇa, to control the prāṇa system in the body to live a long, healthy life and achieve the final goal of the human mission." "Prāṇāyāma is life itself, not just a source of life. It is that prāṇa which develops your immune system." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Overcoming despair and understanding destiny's role. Modern life negatively affects consciousness, yet a path exists. Do not withdraw; engage with friends and discuss life. Read inspiring books on spirituality and healthy living. Reject suicidal thoughts entirely. After death, you experience the consequences of your deeds, which is destiny. This karma determines your next life and the time spent settling accounts in that transitional space before returning to the mortal world. Even individuals dying together in an accident immediately take separate paths dictated by their unique karma. Therefore, your future afterlife mirrors your present actions. Focus on the present, think positively, and spread happiness. "The past is gone. The present is here. Your future will be like your present life." "Never think of suicide."

Yoga can cure many diseases, but not infectious bacterial ones; for those, climate and specific nourishment are needed. Bacteria are everywhere, but a strong immune system prevents them from multiplying. Yoga practices strengthen immunity. Allergies indicate weak immunity, addressed through daily purification like neti and the six cleansing techniques. Modern nourishment, full of chemicals from fertilizers and dairy, harms immunity. A vegetarian diet with spices is essential for protection. Turmeric acts as an antiseptic. Chili, if of the thick-fruited variety, maintains stomach health. Black pepper and ginger are also beneficial. Meat, eggs, and alcohol destroy immunity. Proper diet includes raw juices and spices, especially after illness. Prāṇāyāma purifies and increases oxygen, strengthening immunity. Eat only when truly hungry, and avoid constant snacking. Lifelong observance of diet and practice is key. "Any kind of foreign particle enters the body, and our immune system will destroy it. The immune system is like soldiers on the border." "A vegetarian diet is one of the best protections... In food, the important thing is the spices." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is dear to all, and we fear the pain of death. An animal senses impending slaughter, and fear awakens in its body, triggering hormones that saturate its flesh. This fear does not die with the animal. When consumed, this fear enters the human body as energy, influencing the psyche. An experiment showed meat-eaters developed a fear of prayer and religious settings, while vegetarians did not. This ingested fear causes people to run from themselves, avoiding quiet self-reflection or simple family connection. They fill their lives with distraction—newspapers, television, clubs—in a daily rotation to escape. We are afraid of our own deeds and the subconscious fear absorbed from animals. This fear also manifests as a terror of spiritual experiences, such as leaving the physical body during meditation, creating a fear of the unknown. "Life is dear to everyone. It does not matter if it is a human, an animal, or a bird." "When you meditate, after some time, definitely you will come out of your physical body and into the astral body."

Śiva manifests in two primary aspects: as a functional deity within the Trinity and as the formless universal consciousness. In the Trinity, Brahmā is the creator of forms, including the human body, while Viṣṇu sustains and protects life. Śiva's role is to destroy negativity and grant liberation, or mokṣa. The second, higher form is Śiva as the ultimate truth and pure consciousness, first manifest as the sacred sound Oṃ. Meditation on Oṃ with devotion and a Guru's mantra is essential. Ultimately, distinctions between deities like Śiva and Viṣṇu dissolve at an advanced level, revealing a single divine truth. "Neither am I in Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of the yogīs' meditation... I live there in the heart and consciousness where My bhaktas sing My name with bhakti." "Satyam Śivam Sundaram. Satyam, truth; Śiva is the truth... Śiva is that our consciousness; Śiva is constantly with us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
